    "Vulnerability of our digital lives" is a euphemism for "internet of shit." 

    I can't imagine being in a position where a loss of the tech (monitor and app) threatens my life. People didn't stock a backup manual test kit?

    A bike that doesn't work without an app? That's just foolish. 
    You are another non- diabetic, I’ll- informed person making dumb comments 
    get your facts straight 
    a person using the Libre2 system relies on low sugar level alarms going off during the night- IT IS LIFE SAVING !!!

    No CGM system is a complete substitute for a pin prick test.

    They are great for many things. Many good things but any strange or, in this case, zero readings, must be backed up by a pin prick test. 

    A PITA if you've become accustomed to a sensor/app combo but definitely not a life threatener, save for some really unstable patients. 

    We are more dependant on server side issues nowadays and quality control for certain apps is more pressing for some types of apps than others but a server going offline permanently isn't really all that different to 30 years ago when an app got abandoned and format support was lost. 

    That said, more legal protections should be put in place to give consumers more cover. 
    You either aren’t a type 1 Diabetic or you simply don’t know what you’re talking about?
    have the decency to read up on the facts before making inaccurate statements
